Oil prices have extended losses as US President Donald Trump once again
tried to dampen OPEC's efforts to tackle falling oil prices amid market
expectations on further output cut. "Hopefully OPEC will be
keeping oil flows as is, not restricted. The World does not want to see,
or need, higher oil prices!" Trump said on Twitter on Wednesday, Xinhua
news agency reported.
The West Texas Intermediate for January
delivery decreased $0.36 to settle at $52.89 a barrel on the New York
Mercantile Exchange, while Brent crude for January delivery decreased
$0.52 to close at $61.56 dollars a barrel on the London ICE Futures
Exchange. The remarks came just a day prior to OPEC's meeting
in Vienna, piling pressure on the Saudi-led cartel, Russia and other
non-member nations over potential global oil policy-making. Moscow
has shown willingness to cooperate with OPEC to cut oil production.
Russia's oil giant Lukoil said it's ready to cut production if the
upcoming meeting results in a deal to prop up prices, the company's CEO
Vagit Alekperov told reporters, according to TASS news agency. Yet
he said such a reduction could be done "only gradually," due to the
adverse weather conditions in Western Siberia. "The reduction should be
smooth, just like last year," Alekperov was quoted as saying.
